** Bull. Even though he threatens his opponents and even punches Hawk before the final confrontation he goes for a handshake afterwards without any aggression whatsoever. His menacing behaviour was psychological warfare rather than genuine hostility.
Added DiffLines:
* JerkAssHasAPoint: Jason Cutler, again. He can provide for Michael way better than his long absent father who barely makes his ends meet. At least until he wins the tournament, but even then Jason can't be sure Lincoln won't slip into poverty again.

Panned by critics and barely turning a profit at the box office, the film has a great camp quality to it and does have its fans. The film really tries to make Stallone a super underdog a la ''Film/{{Rocky}}'' to recapture some of that film series' magic.
